The CL/NQ experiment

Quote from smallStops:

well I was going to say you will certainly make it as a very good trader. Ego will not be your downfall.

Up until recently my ego WAS the problem.
I don't like to be wrong in trading.
That I knew for a long time and I admitted that early on.
The problem was how to correct this.
In other fields I have no problem.
In areas not related to trading, if someone could provide compelling reasoning that they are right and I am wrong, I would take their side but in trading it was different.
At least I came to realize this and I am taking steps to correct this issue.

sorry, if you can put pics of trade 11 and trade 5
- close view of the 2 trades
- "broader" views of the 2 trades

These 2 trades?

WAS : :eek:
you are thus the proof people can improve.

trade 11 : time around 1:04.
so your chart should have the circle on the right moved much more to the right.

 

[smallStops]

my mistake : i confused with exit time.

1:04 is the exit time.
Is this the one?
At what time is the one to compare to?

can you put the broader views with whatever moving average you entered on the touch?

if you are trend trading, how comes you switch neighbourging trades from long to short?

[smallStops]

are you choosing your stop based on the moving averages,
aka above /below a moving average ? or based on candle?
